The 2 clubs fighting for the signing of Martín Zubimendi

Arsenal and Liverpool have set their sights on Martin Zubimendi as a key reinforcement for their respective midfields, putting them in a direct battle to secure the talented player from Real Sociedad. The Gunners aim to consolidate a dynamic midfield trio alongside Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard, while the Reds see the Spanish midfielder as a luxury option to compete with Ryan Gravenberch, whose performance has significantly improved under the guidance of Arne Slot at Anfield.

Despite the interest from these Premier League giants, the chances of Zubimendi leaving the Basque club in the winter market are slim. With a valid contract and a crucial role in Imanol Alguacil's team, the 25-year-old midfielder is shaping up to be a fundamental piece for Real Sociedad in their quest to establish themselves among La Liga's elite and in European competitions.

The Premier League competes for Zubimendi

Arsenal, having bolstered their midfield with Declan Rice, is seeking a profile like Zubimendi's to provide solidity and vision, while Liverpool continues the search for a natural replacement for Thiago Alcántara, who left the club after the expiration of his contract. However, Zubimendi has shown a clear preference to continue in Spain and reportedly values a potential future at Real Madrid more than an immediate move to England.

Although January doesn't seem the right time for his departure, the upcoming summer window could bring new opportunities. Facing competition from Real Madrid will be a significant challenge for Arsenal and Liverpool, who must offer attractive projects both in sporting and financial aspects if they want to add one of the most sought-after midfielders in La Liga.
